Deluge of Daffodils

Wonderful

have a beautiful sunny day:)

Ça donne un remarquable effer cette averse sur la photo..... Bon jeudi.

It is indeed beautifully artistic, Herb, and the light is gorgeous. The streaks of the falling rain work wonderfully with the background (it took me a minute to realize there was also the trunk of a beech tree "hiding" among the streaking rain).
And you didn't even have to get wet to catch this! :)))

Hi Annalia. Very happy that you have enjoyed this one. One could be forgiven to think that I had used photo editing trickery to get this but no, the background silver birch and beech trees really did give that impression of a canvas backdrop. The downpour was quite intense and I took this at a rather slow 100th of a sec blurring the falling drops whilst keeping the flowers nice and sharp. As you say, without getting wet too.

Keep safe. Herb

Great Image Herb you seem to be able to find the rain love it something different.
Best TOZ

Hi Toz, sometimes we have to just make the best out of inclement weather. This rain was followed by the most beautiful rainbows that lasted almost 45mins. Great that you enjoyed it

Keep safe. Herb

Bleak, but wonderful with such variations of light too

Nay, not bleak lad! Quite wonderful I thought but not the weather for sunbathing. Glad you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

A fantastic pic, Herb. Love it!

Wow, that's rain!

It sure is Daniela. looks almost like a water pipe spraying water, I know.

Keep safe. Herb

It really does look so artistic Herb. Well done for seeing it. The light is superb.
Cheers, Rosa.

As a lover of art, I saw from the start the beauty in this downpour. Catching it like this was almost more luck than design. It only lasted a few seconds before turning the traditional grey. I think you may be having weather like this (minus the sun) at the moment too :)

Keep safe. Herb

It must have been a very clean glass window Herb :-)

This has a very painterly look to it.............the light in the foreground and on the daffodils is gorgeous, and it also makes the torrential rain stand out perfectly against the darker background. The flowers are amazingly sharp too given the circumstances.

You've done a super job here. I really like it!

Hi Keith. Glad you enjoyed this one. Reading though your comment here I can well understand your reasoning and thought process. One could be easily fooled into thinking that I had used photo editing trickery perhaps to get this, but no, the background silver birch and beech trees really did give that impression of a canvas backdrop. The downpour was quite intense and I took this at a rather slow 100th of a sec blurring the falling drops whilst keeping the flowers nice and sharp in the bright spotlight of sun at the far end of the garden. The windows were beginning to reflect some of the internal lighting as show by those strange grey verticals. -or just a trick of the light. I just manged a total of three photos here, all at different focal lengths but this was the best. - All whist keeping quite dry in the cottage lounge.

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks for drawing my attention to this Herb. I've replied to your message, so I won't repeat myself here.

Don't you believe in making sacrifices for your art Herb?
But you obviously don't need to because this capture IS art.

Well I did get rather wet chasing rainbows a few minutes later but what is a little wetness when all said and done. glad you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

Very cleverly done Herb. Its great to see something different that works so well. I love the light on the grass and the wall of water that the downpour produces. Very good indeed.

Nice to see you again Ed. Yes, not often we get a chance to catch such scenes as this. Being at the right place helps. Glad you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

Now that is how to get the best out of the dreich Scottish weather Herb!!

Beautifully captured, - a really lovely effect.

My dear Carol, you know, like I do that Scotland rarely has weather like this :)

Glad you liked it. Keep safe. Herb

Lovely light and a great capture of what looks quite a heavy downpour.

Pretty heavy but the daffs survived OK.

Keep safe. Herb
